lyrics

picture me somewhere nice and warm
a small café that I’ve been to before
all the same
nothing changed
still alone

I sit down and look out across the room
and there you are. No one’s there with you
you check you’re phone
and sip your cup
and get your coat
then you’re gone

now picture me laying in bed at night
wide awake, but I don’t know why
but soon enough
I start to drift
and fall asleep

but in my mind, I’m acting in a play
as myself reliving yesterday
and there you are
the same café
we almost meet
but it’s a dream

now picture me waiting in a checkout aisle
watching you and you’ve been there a while
so I smile
and so do you
the line moves on

but it’s your turn to buy the things you want to buy
an exchange is made while I feel dead inside
‘cause all I want
to do is talk
and make a friend
but then you’re gone
